Took load of pics of this old IAC provost rotting away in Leitrim last August. Then had a camera mishap. These were salvaged. Not great, but may be of interest to a few people.
Haven't attached photos before, hope it works!:redface:

"No, sir. He's a sergeant, and they don't deserve no respect at all, sir. I should know. They're cunning and artful, if they're any good. I wouldn't mind if he was an officer, sir. But sergeants are clever."
It was taken on loan and rescued with another one by the South East Preservation Group , headed by the legendary George Harvey, in Waterford in 1987 and was part of a collection they held up to 1999 which was passed on to a guy called Philp Bedford who got funding to set up the aircraft collection as part of the Dromrod Railway Museum Group.
I was involved in the removal of the two Provosts..a Vampire and a Vampire Pod during the summer period of 1986.I have photos of its recovery from the fire Dump..it looks a bit tired and rough again as do most aircrasft exposed to the elements but when she was refurbished in 187..she was almost perfect..will post up those pictures when i find them,
There is also an AC Chipmunk there 173..which I was also part of the retoration team
